Welcome Visitor: 
I make it very clear I am the proud papa of some very special young ladies. With this being said, I also feel they still live in a world of inequality. I believe they live in a world that expects them to be what magazines and movies want them to be. This is my message to all...I do not back inequality of any kind!

Little girl stands in front of her mirror
wishing
WISHING
she was the Cosmo girl
that she can never be
because little girls are not airbrushed.
She has forgot about being the
Pretty
PRETTY
princess,
and she has forgot
the dreams of being president . . .
She only wants to be
skinny
SKINNY
like the supermodel on the cover
of a magazine so sexy,
so thin,
so fake in the colors of print.
The mirror cries back in great expectations...
